Just a duplicate of information at the far more complete Major League Baseball single-season home run record. Staxringold _talk^contribs 17:35, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Either a delete or merge works, whatever the community decides on. Staxringold _talk^contribs 17:37, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd lean towards delete because I don't see a need to save the article history or create a redirect, but I agree that either one works. --Muboshgu (talk) 20:44, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Major League Baseball single-season home run record. Technically, this article from 2005 isn't a duplicate of the more detailed one that came along in 2009. The '09 version has more information, but lacks three things that the '05 article had-- which is a source, a short version, and a sensible title. I'm going to go ahead and add the table and the link from this 2005 article into the 2009 article, for the benefit of persons who don't want to get straight to the point without the 1,000 word description. With regard to the title "Major League Baseball single-season home run record", the record is "73, by Barry Bonds, in 2001". Progression of that record is what both articles are about.
